Eco Factor: Air cleaning mask has the ability to filter particles smaller than 2.5 microns.
I wouldn’t rank firefighters any less than soldiers who protect people’s life without even thinking once about their own selves. But what do they get in return for this lifesaving act? I know your answer will be a little appreciation or a medal. Sorry to disappoint you, but you are wrong. Unfortunately, they get higher risk of several lethal cancer types and children with congenital heart disease than general people. In order to offer the firefighters a safer life, designer Malin Grummas has come up with the idea of an air cleaning mask.
Dubbed as “CAS,” the air cleaning mask has the ability to filter particles smaller than 2.5 microns, which can be most commonly found in burning spots and too dangerous for human health. It comes equipped with an internal carbon monoxide meter that on detecting a sudden increase of the carbon monoxide level triggers a signal to notify the firefighter, while the tube automatically pushes compressed air in.
In case the carbon monoxide level becomes too high, a tube placed in the backside of the neck provides the firefighter with fresh air to breathe smoothly. This mask concept also allows the firefighters to communicate with others through voice amplifier and transparent window.
